We decided to do something different for Christmas vacation this year and went to Hawaii (my husband had visited once before when he was just out of high school, I had never been there before). Since we had the kids with us, we stayed on the island of Oahu and didn't visit the other islands (maybe another time), but we did rent a car for the week and drove all over the island. We arrived Christmas Eve and left the evening of New Year's Day. Attached is a thumbnail of the view from our hotel room at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It worked out great for viewing the fireworks on Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Memories.....

I used to live on Oahu waaaaaaay back in grade school (the sixties). My favorite perk? Going to school barefoot - but only for gradeschoolers. My brothers were in JH and had to wear shoes ;)
At home with a good book and the cat...
...is the only place I want to be

Sounds like a fabulous way to spent Christmas and New Years.
